Chapter Text
Jason Todd never planned on becoming a father, but life has a way of surprising even the most battle‑hardened vigilantes. When Roy Harper returned with a newborn daughter and a heart full of fear, Jason stepped in without hesitation. Together, they built a home for Lian—messy, loud, fiercely loving, and stitched together with the kind of devotion Gotham can't break.
Jason never treated Lian as anything less than his own. She was his kid. His family.
But Gotham is never done testing its heroes.
One night on patrol, Jason and Roy uncover the Joker's latest hideout. They expect danger. They expect traps. They expect madness.
They do not expect to find a small, terrified child in the corner while the Joker rambles about "making his own Robin."
Jason refuses to let history repeat itself.
With Gotham's child services overwhelmed and unreliable, Jason and Roy make a choice that will change their lives forever: they take the child home. One more kid in their chaotic, patched‑together family isn't a burden—it's a promise.
A promise that this child will never be alone again.
A promise that monsters don't get to decide anyone's destiny.
A promise that family—chosen, found, or rescued—is worth fighting for.
A story of healing in the shadows, unexpected parenthood, and the fierce love that grows where Gotham least expects it.
